Oetiker 15100006-100 2-ear Clamp 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 15100006-100 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Constructed from stainless steel with a 0.8 mm wall thickness and a 7 mm band width, this clamp delivers consistent radial clamping force when crimped with a pincer tool. The nominal size is 1/2 inch, with a clamping range of 11 mm to 13 mm. It is specified by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and PEX installation crews who need a reliable, tamper-resistant mechanical connection without worm-gear bulk. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments.

This clamp is suited for 1/2 inch PEX tubing fittings, low-pressure hose connections, and similar assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating systems. The 2-ear design is appropriate where a low-profile, crimped connection is required in tight spaces or where reusable clamps are not acceptable per installation standards. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and high-humidity environments
• 2-ear design provides uniform radial clamping force when crimped
• 7 mm band width distributes load across the hose or tubing surface
• 0.8 mm band thickness balances strength with compact profile
• Clamping range of 11 mm to 13 mm suits standard 1/2 inch fittings
• Low-profile ear geometry fits confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style stepless ear clamp for 1/2 inch hose and tubing assemblies in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated ear-clamp pincer or stepless clamp tool sized for the ear profile. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing clamps on pressurized lines. Once crimped, the 2-ear clamp is a permanent, non-reusable fastener and must be cut off for disassembly. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for approved connection methods on potable water and hydronic piping.
